Power Inside *The Vampire Diaries*

Chapter 6

Elena has been acting weird since the day before. I stayed at home with Jeremy next to me not leaving my side after he heard what happened and that I'm almost burned alive

"Come on. No one got hurt, Jer" I told him by the tenth time. He grabbed my hand in a strong grip not letting me stand up from the coach making me sigh

"But it could have" Jeremy replied not taking his eyes from the TV "You froze when you had to move away from the fire. Luckily nothing happened and I told Jenna I would keep an eye on you while she stays at Whitmore. Those insensitive pricks didn't want to give her some free days to spend with her almost dying daughter"

I rolled my eyes sighing "Fine. But at least put something  interesting, that show is so boring...."

Jeremy chuckled but did so. We spent all morning watching movies.

~8~

It was near 2 PM when the doorbell rang making our eyebrows furrow in confusion, Jeremy stood up to open the door and I followed.

I raised my eyebrows in surprise seeing Vicky outside. Her expression was one of discomfort as she looked at us behind her sunglasses

"Hey, the sun is killing me. My eyes are on fire" she pushed past Jer making her way inside. I nodded sarcastically

"It must be the drugs..." I told her with a sarcastic smile. She glared at me. Jeremy ignored me and looked at Vicky in anger an concern

"Where have you been?"

We had watched the news about the death druggies this afternoon. Jeremy had told me those were the guys Vicky hang out with and he was concern when they declared her missing when they found out her ID in the scene.

"It's good. Everything it's good" she told him before starting to kiss him. I gagged

"Gross, guys"

Vicky pulled away and shot me an amused smile. "Did something happen?" Jeremy asked her as she walked past me.

Vicky didn't answer "I'm hungry. What do you got to eat?"

I shot an annoyed look at Jeremy. "Deal with her. She's not my problem and I don't want her to be my problem" I told him walking past him towards the stairs.

I heard Jeremy sigh and his retreating footsteps towards the kitchen while I made my way upstairs.

~8~

I was in my room with my laptop with headphones on as I typed what I thought could be happening to me when I felt it again. That feeling something bad was going to happen. I looked over to the window with my head tilted aside. The music blasting in my ears muting everything going on downstairs.

I stood up quietly walking to the window and looked down. Damon was making his way over and I felt him being bad news. I started breathing heavily and backed away from the window. I sat down in my bed placing my head in my arms as I tried to call myself down

I threw the headphones off and rocked myself trying to breath.

"Jill? Jill?" Jeremy's voice suddenly made me relax. I looked up tear eyed "What's wrong?"

"Something bad...." I whispered looking up "Mystic Falls is in danger" I said quietly

Jeremy frowned in concern holding me tightly passing a hand through my hair soothingly

~8~

Jeremy walked out of Jillian's room with a concerned expression. He didn't know from where Jill got Mystic Falls was in danger, nothing bad happened in the small town but no matter what he said, Jill continued repeating there was a danger coming, a danger it was closer than everyone thought.

He wasn't an expert on weirdness and at first thought it was a joke between her and Elena but from the way Elena had been acting too earlier, he knew it wasn't a joke.

He waited in the living room for his sister to come inside after talking with her boyfriend to tell her in the conditions their cousin was at

Elena walked inside still shocked from hearing Vicky had transitioned into vampire, she gasped when she noticed her little brother waiting for her

"Jer, don't do that" she scolded him, he didn't even bother to roll his eyes as he grabbed her wrist pulling her upstairs "Hey! What's wrong!" She frowned

Jeremy shot her a look and opened Jill's door to see the mentioned girl in the middle of her bed rocking back and forth with her hands in her head mumbling things to herself, papers gathered around her making Elena ran towards her cousin with a look of concern.

Jeremy looked between them and backed away closing the door knowing Elena could know what is wrong.

"Jill?" Elena asked softly, her cousin's voice making Jill whimper in fear

"Stay away from me..." Jillian murmured not opening her eyes

"Jillian?" Elena didn't listen and instead wrapped her arms around her placing her chin on her head, her expression showing concern for her "It's me, Elena. You're okay. You're okay"

Elena felt Jillian's muscles relax visibly as soon as she said her name. Jillian opened her eyes slowly and looked up

"She's coming..."
